Issues

A key strength of Newton is our year round support for arts and culture. Newton boasts over seventy arts organizations ranging from music and dance to pottery and painting. As Mayor, I will continue our long tradition of supporting art and artists. As one example, I support creating a Washington Street Cultural District as a way to promote Newton as a destination for arts and culture. I will work closely with our city staff and our many community organizations to make Newton a place where the arts and culture flourish.
